In XP and older versions of windows there was a cool tool that most people forgot about or did not know about or just did not use.
The good ol’ print screen button. You could hit print screen, then paste the image into MS Word or another program and send it to someone or use it on a blog like I do.
Introduced in Vista and also in Windows 7 is the Windows Snipping Tool. It is really cool and useful.
To find it, you go to Start Button >All Programs>Accessories> Snipping Tool.
When you open the tool, the screen goes sort of foggy, then you can drag your cross hair cursor around what you want to take a snap shot of.
Then you have choices on the top menu. You can copy it to the clipboard, then pasted it in a program. You can email it, or even save it.
The other really cool feature is you can use the pen to mark it up and draw arrows or circle stuff. That is how I make many of my instructional blog pictures.
If you have not used it, check it out, it is really easy to use when you want to show something that is on your screen to someone.
It helps for troubleshooting problems on your computer, creating teaching material, or just showing someone something cool or funny on your system.
